- Traffic lights and traffic signage are relocated accordingly. For your own safety, please observe and follow signs.
- Traffic will travel on the south side of Eglinton Avenue West in the vicinity of the Allen Rd.

Traffic delays are expected during construction. Please take care when travelling near construction areas. Please watch and obey traffic signs and signals.
